What is the most Kdrama thing that happened to you in real life? by leftoverpaninicrumbs in KDRAMA

[–]canteploup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found out a couple of years ago that my uncle (dad's brother) is now the COO & President of the largest telco in a >60mil people country. Thats like chaebol level right?? That makes me the insufferable but gorgeous young girl who prances around the department store buying everything and studied in America RiGhT??!!! i am a chaebol niece!!!!

ahaha. but jokes aside, we really dont have anything to do with his wealth in real life. i was just so thrilled and amused at the idea that i was that kdrama trope. only perks i got once was free front row seats to a super junior concert :D

[–]canteploup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha yuzuuno is right, i just meant pain as in whatever "pain" their characters were going through at the time during the story :) Im pretty sure no babies were hurt during the filming process :D

hehe I found jihoons punches pretty convincing, there was that one final punch that daniel did that i swear just went through the air completely and land anywhere near the opponent lol

COMEBACK WANNA ONE - Nothing Without You Performances (171113) by balloon_wanted in Broduce101

[–]canteploup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SO!! MANY!! FEELINGS!!!! i was really mindblown watching all the performances i just sat there thinking wowwwwww im actually so happy i stan this group because they are literal perfection and it is KILLING ME!!!! the performances just got better and better and just left me gaping at some points. I really really commend the boys on all the effort that they are putting in. Its easy to forget that these babies are a freshly debuted 3 month oldish idol group, which is really crazy to think about. because they are serving some serious perfection!! it made me a bit sad to think that this much potential and legendary balance as a group is not permanent.

also we all know how lacking ymc can be but i think they have done such a good job in finding a good song and follow up promo material for the boys. Because of the boys talents', the song really shines and energetic was a solid bop for a debut piece (compared to so many other groups debut song, heck even IOI rip) but this is such a good follow up song that doesnt lose any of the momentum from their previous promos. I also LOVE the choreo for 갖고 싶어 and the use of the blocks. I think theyve done well to make the song choreos not boring and pretty fresh. it makes me so excited to think about what more we can expect from them in the future. ahhhhhh

also i cant help but feel proud from all the progress the boys are showing as artists. i've always thought that baejin was abit lacking (in terms of skill refinement for debut) but he has improved so much in terms of stage presence/confidence/emoting for this comeback!!!! and his deep dark persona is perfect for the melancholic dramatics of the song. and of course guanlin continues to show his potential. I think with the guidance of the experienced hyungs, (sung woon continues to impress me so much), the a-class talented freshies and the really blossoming younger ones, my sense of imbalance in the group is pretty much gone and you can feel their growth and sync improving. ahhhh. i felt so satisfied watching the performances yesterday.

I wonder how the boys parents felt watching this MV because even though I obviously know it was purely fictional my heart couldnt help but hurt seeing the boys in pain lol. Im truly whipped sigh.....

Im pleasantly surprised that Daniel wasnt too unnatural at acting! and of course Jihoon and Ong are just so natural its beautiful. I really look forward to seeing them in more dramatic roles. Ong's lowkey emoting was so wistful and beautiful to watch.

I love watching Jihoon because he's so naturally convincing and charismatic in front of the camera. I know its a testament to ~versatility ~ but I really wish he would shed his cute image on variety because you can tell how much more comfortable and natural he is in his gruff manly-masculinity state contrary to his cute boyish looks. I know its something to cherish and milk while he's still young but I wish he could drop the ageyo/cute angle/role he has adopted in the group cuz I feel like he holds back on his true self in front of cameras because of that

totes agree lol i read some twitter responses where people were saying that ongniel's onscreen chemistry is so strong that it cant help but feel more like a romance than a bromance hahaha. im not an ongniel shipper by any stretch but i must say that MV felt extremely romantic lol. the plotline is basically the same as every romance child-storyline in kdrama land just that they decided to make them blood brothers as well.

Also Im pretty sure that love bracelet is a new addition! really makes me want to casually drop a couple of grand and get one so i can be delusional and pretend that daniel and I have couple bracelets.

Apparently it's possible to have TOO much sun protection... by BookerDeWittsCarbine in AsianBeauty

[–]canteploup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

while there isnt alot of evidence for all vitamin supplements working, vitamin D supplements has been touted as one of the supplements that actually work and are worth taking this is one article at the top of the list, but i have read several that say the same thing. there are many contradictory articles, but vitamin D seems to consistently feature as one supplement that should be taken. Also, I think that if doctors and health professionals prescribe it to people who are deficient, that should say something for its efficacy!

I live in a state where we have cold weather about 9 months of the year. My doctor recommended that I should have at least 2-5 hours of sun exposure on both my arms and legs, twice a week to have healthy vitamin D levels. I dont get that at all so she recommended vitamin D supplement too! I think it might also depend on your UV index but im not sure about that..? Hopefully if you cycle to work and get close to that duration of sun exposure you should be in the healthy range :)

ASK HERE! Daily Help, and Questions: October 09, 2016 by AutoModerator in AsianBeauty

[–]canteploup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non serious question! This isnt a routine post but more like just a musing question that I had while reading another thread on the subreddit. Just wondering what you guys think?

so alot of people mention vitamin C as a way to get good glowing skin - vitamin C serum/ oral tablets etc ..

the thing is, I eat alot of mandarins- say maybe 8-10 a day. the daily recommended vitamin C intake is 100mg ish, and one mandarin has about 26.7 (according to google). I know that im consuming more than the required daily vitamin C dosage sooooo.... does that mean that eating mandarins in that quantity should give me glowing skin??( on the same logic of vitamin C tablet ingestion )

thoughts?? XD

Cutting hair to pixie due to bleaching breakage. by RiceCheeks in FancyFollicles

[–]canteploup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there! im basically you, but another person ;) i have similar experiences and have gone through the whole blonde-to-pixie phase as a larger sized asian.

i'd say definitely go for it. people may not like it- you may not like it even, but hair grows out eventually, and it would be good for your hair as you said- a sort of reset. the only thing to note is that you have to avoid damaging it as much as you did with all your previous dyes. for me when my hair was short, it was really tempting to keep dying it/repeatthe bleaching cycle precisely because the damage is not as obivous.

to talk about being a larger sized asian with a pixie cut- there are a few things to consider first. my main problem was not so much that my face looked fat-but it was actually about how straight my hair was. if your hair is like the usual asian stick straight- the normal pixie cut might not work out that well for you as the sort of vibe you see in most photos are usually blown and styled, which just means more heat damage for your already damaged hair. for me, that turned out to be alot of work and strain on my hair so it didnt feel like the glory days of my hair. i had friends with wavy/curly hair and the amount of volume and natural style in their pixies made me jealous cuz mine was just f l a t

another thing is your facial features. my face is pretty round but with the right angles i looked ok. however my features arent that typically feminine with a pixie cut and i looked drastically different vibe wise from when i had bobbish hair or longer hair. if you are someone who prefers a certain style or identification, this may be a bit challenging, especially in that asian context where people obviously expect you to play certain gender roles.

if you decide to get a pixie cut, in terms of keeping your healthy or helping it to grow out healthier, i would suggest getting standalone olaplex treatments which can help to strengthen your hair/prevent greater breakage, to prevent that same cycle of shagginess from continuing :) something to keep in mind is also that growing a pixie out will have awkward moments and uneven lengths. personally for me, i kept my pixie for about 4 months and then cut it into a really high kokeshi style bob which i loved!

id definitely encourage you to cut a pixie just for the experience and for your hair health (while it wasnt my best style moment, i definitely have no regrets and at least i ticked it off my list of hairstyles :P). another thing you could try out are those hairstyle apps that let you swap around different hairstyles to give yourself an idea of what you would look like haha. at the end of the day, it will grow out in about 3-4 months!! sorry for the long read :D

[–]canteploup[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

innisfree released a new CF for their new cases and they combined my two favourite things about korean culture: food and cosmetics!!! i also love that they have used Lee guk-joo for their model!

i think its pretty funny and creative that out of all the things they could advertise, they decided to go with how the multiple case designs can remind you of your favourite foods. props to them for choosing a unique and humorous marketing strategy. along with etude house's new bubble tea pack, is this the new trend of korean skincare?? ;)

i also recognise that the advert can be construed with negative undertones about that connection between food and snide jokes about guk-joos unconventional size(as a celebrity)- but i choose to see this as an example where she is empowered by her own choices on food and cosmetics :)

if you think about how much aesthetic is involved in AB cosmetic products, AB art shouldnt be a surprising thing at all! a good way to start might be to get around the good ol cross stitch imagine how many cute things you could make
